2. How We Use Your Information
- Service delivery: To provide access to the Minecraft server, deliver purchased items, and manage your account

3. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

4. Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account exists or as needed to provide services. Transaction records and security logs are retained indefinitely for fraud prevention and dispute resolution purposes. If you wish to delete your account, contact us through Discord; note that transaction and security records cannot be deleted as they may be needed for legal or chargeback defense purposes.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data, including encrypted database connections, secure authentication via OAuth2, and HTTPS encryption for all web traffic. Payment card details are handled entirely by Stripe and never touch our servers.
